Would that be almost a different movie? Wondering because the Atreides
seem to be a Spanish line, while the Harkonnens are Germanic, and the
Fremen more Araby.
However your idea has merit. A complete anime version of Dune would be
good also.
I would say that I do really like the Lynch, and would love to see it
cleaned up a Tad more. Some of those bluescreen but don't quite work.

I'd like a movie to just look at the material freshly and try to see
what Herbert had in his head.
